We will discuss strategic approaches to test-taking. All student resources are collected in a folder (whether physical or digital) provided by the tutor.

Application Essay Guidance
Personal attention to your writing from a practicing poet and essayist with an MFA in Creative Writing.
I offer one- to three-hour blocks of time for this service. I meet you wherever you are in your process: whether you’re searching for the right part of your soul to bare to your would-be professors, honing an introductory paragraph to zap a sleepy admissions committee awake, or agonizing over every last comma and semicolon the evening before your deadline, I help you express the best parts of yourself to colleges, graduate schools, and employers.
My current prices are $60/hour for a one-hour session and $50/hr for a session lasting two or more hours.
